That's Tom McDowell, at left edge, light-coloured shirt, with arm extended, coordinating the team's pulls.
Sally Malo, cheering the team on, just above Tom's extended left hand.

Note the official at right wearing a white shirt and whistle, carefully watching the center line. I'm almost certain that's Mr. George Pleasance who was then retired, but taught at Simcoe High School from the 40's to the 60's. He may well have taught your parents! And I do believe his photo confirms this on the web site: www.nornet.on.ca (Norfolk Genealogy) Do a search for this website if it doesn't come up for you.
Click on group photos. See the high school photo of Simcoe High 1945-46 and click on "students names." His name comes up. Click on that, see his pic and bio.
BUT... if you want a REAL trip my fellow boomers, go thru these photos and names of students from the 40's and you will see the mothers and fathers of so many of the people you grew up with. See the family resemblance. WOW!!! Let them know.

1971. Valley Heights won that year. All those big farm kids,I think it was their first year as a newly-formed high school. Good on you!
L-R:our cheerleaders,?, Diane Sloot (above arm), ? ,Diane Argyros( with big S).
L-R: visible faces only : Nathan Hamayda,John Rodgers,Don McInally,Ken Thompson,Steve Fleming,Kevin Thompson,Ted Dillon at the end.
With 11 guys per team that leaves four unaccounted members. Anyone...?
